Bow ties

There is a clear difference between pre-tied bow ties and bow ties that you tie yourself, which is mainly evident in the style and the personal touch:

Pre-tied bow ties come ready-tied and feature an adjustable hook or ribbon closure for easy fastening around the neck.

In contrast, do-it-yourself bow ties, also known as self-tie bow ties, require you to tie them by hand. They consist of a longer piece of fabric that must be wrapped around the neck and tied in a specific way. This allows the wearer to customize the size of the knot and the style of the tying process to their exact liking. Our bow ties are self-tie. However, we pre-tie them for you. The back fastener makes them easy and quick to put on.

Self-tied bow ties have an undeniable advantage in terms of style. They convey a traditional and elegant impression, as they are often seen as a sign of individuality and craftsmanship.

The ideal shirt collar to wear with a bow tie is the Kent collar or classic collar. This collar style offers enough space and stability to show off the bow tie and create an elegant appearance. The Kent collar has straight collar points that are not too far apart, which creates an ideal base for the bow tie. It goes well with formal occasions such as weddings, gala dinners or business meetings where a bow tie is a classic and stylish accessory. Other collar shapes such as button-down collars or point collars are less suitable as they can look either too casual or too narrow for a bow tie.

A pocket square that is the same color as the bow tie and, if possible, made of the same fabric, offers a particularly harmonious and stylish combination.

Choosing a pocket square in the same color and material as the bow tie conveys a sense of elegance and sophistication. It ensures that both accessories match and complement each other rather than competing for attention. This harmonious combination is particularly suitable for formal occasions or situations where a neat and sophisticated appearance is desired.

In addition, choosing a consistent color and material concept makes choosing the outfit easier and ensures that the overall look is convincing in its coordination and aesthetics. It also shows an eye for detail and sense of style, which further enhances the overall appearance.

For the groom, a linen bow tie is an excellent choice, especially if it matches the concept and color scheme of the wedding. Linen has a natural, elegant charm and can blend well with the decorations or selected flowers of the wedding. A linen bow tie in matching colors such as cream, beige or soft pastel shades can subtly complement the color palette of the wedding and exude a relaxed elegance. This gives the groom a sophisticated look that at the same time matches the atmosphere of the celebrations.

As the father of the bride or groom, it is a nice gesture to choose a bow tie that harmoniously matches the groom's bow tie. This can be done by choosing the same color or a similar style to show a bond and togetherness with the bride and groom. An identical bow tie to the groom's could be a symbolic sign of support and connection, especially at formal occasions such as weddings. It also underlines the harmonious overall image of the wedding party and shows appreciation for the significance of the occasion.
